Pros

The only positives were meeting my close friends and gaining experience in this industry but if you want a place that practices blameless problem solving look elsewhere.

Cons

This company will drive you to the border of insanity and then sit back and pretend like they had nothing to do with it. In an industry that can already drive someone to that outcome it’s fairly impressive that they can have such an upper hand in helping. You’ll be painted with this picture of a company that values their employees and that you’ll build a network of family, not a cohort of co-workers. However that couldn’t be further from the truth, that so called family will turn their backs to you as soon as you stand up for yourself and speak your mind. They claim that they’re transparent and that they want you to be curious in asking questions. When asked a question they'll give you a roundabout answer that avoids any sort of transparency. There is absolutely no accountability or help from anyone in management. At first you’ll feel like you can trust them and you’ll want to do everything in your power to ensure success for the company. Until one day they’ll blindside you and show you how little they actually valued you. You’re constantly set-up to fail with unrealistic expectations for not only yourself but for the clients and business they work with. You’ll be given unrealistic goal after goal and in turn they’ll use you as the scapegoat for why things we're not achieved, never once offering to help. Management will never admit that they were at fault, it’s always someone else's.

Pros

JDK has a very team-oriented environment. They value fostering a culture of continuous improvement and learning. It's very rewarding to see satisfied clients at the end of an event. Cross training is encouraged so you can try out different departments. Fast paced and definitely never a dull day! The schedule couldn't be more flexible - pick and choose when you want to work.

Cons

Some months are busier than others
